SIREN – “Dems call for fresh message, warn of 'impossible headwind,’” by Alexander Burns: “Pollsters Stan Greenberg and Erica Seifert, of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, and Democratic strategist James Carville write in a research document for Democracy Corps that their party’s current frame for the 2012 race is not effective. Based on focus groups in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the strategists argue that voters are simply not convinced that the economy is on the move and it’s a mistake to try and tell them otherwise: “These voters are not convinced that we are headed in the right direction. They are living in a new economy – and there is no conceivable recovery in the year ahead that will change the view of the new state of the country. They actually have a very realistic view of the long road back and the struggles of the middle class — and the current narrative about progress just misses the opportunity to connect and point … [Read more...] about CARVILLE, GREENBERG CALL FOR MORE FORWARD-LOOKING DEM.

There’s the patriotic mission; the promise of a government salary; the thrill of working under the hood on the country’s classified cyber mechanics. And then there’s the pile of free purple and orange pens.

There was a moment recently when I thought I’d mastered the ongoing battle over my children and screen time. All was quiet upstairs (always a bad sign) so I went to investigate, and there were my two cherubs, Louisa, 12, and Josie, 10, ­playing Scrabble on the iPad in bed. Ah, screens aren’t all bad, I thought. And yet… something felt fishy. I tiptoed back and burst in to find one daughter watching Pretty ­Little Liars on Netflix, and the other ­furiously scrolling through Snapchat on her iPhone. Much hilarity ensued, and they were so pleased with their ingenuity that they hardly minded when I confiscated the screens. But the battle wasn’t over. In fact, it’s never over… and if I had a pound for every time I’ve talked to ­parents about the trials of getting ­children off screens, I’d be rich and ­retired in a Wi-Fi-free zone. Most of us grew up in an age of no mobile phones… of books, … [Read more...] about Screens and teens: survival tips for parents on the technology battlefield
